    An interesting read on the BBC website.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23680545


    I especially like this part

    "People panicked about England's coefficient when no Premier League clubs reached the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League, but Chelsea's Europa League success kept England above Germany, in second place.
    Rather than catching up with England, Italy, who are fourth, only just avoided being overtaken by Portugal because of their lack of progress in the Europa League."

    Don't be silly. We are pathetic for even thinking that winning the Europa League meant anything.

    Arsenal better hope we keep doing well in Europe, otherwise the 4th place trophy they covet so much will cease to exist.

    Don't agree with much EUFA say, but that seems pretty close, I'd say second personally. Bayern deserve 1st, we're better than Barcelona.

    Bold words! Like them though.

    We have certainly been England's best club in Europe for the past decade when it comes to playing the big boys
